The company says Teradata CRM 5.0 has been enhanced to better identify industry-specific business opportunities. For example, the application now enables users to identify customers who have interacted at different times for the same purpose, such as a traveler who has visited a Web site at separate times to book a flight, hotel, and car, rather than simultaneously booking all three. Users also can now identify customers who are not doing something, for example, customers who are not using their bank's ATM or customers who have signed up for an account but have not activated it. www.teradata.comCRM Soffront Software announced the release of version 8.0 of its CRM solution.
